Emiliano Rigoni: "To score another hat-trick I probably need to take a picture with Messi"

The Argentinian international on his hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League.
Congratulations on the win and getting the matchball. How did you do it? 

This is the ball that I got thanks to the three goals I scored. I've taken it to remember and it has been signed by the whole team. 

How do you feel, having scored a hat-trick? 

Today I felt good and in great physical shape. Of course, scoring goals always add extra motivation. The whole team went to the match charged and we went into the game knowing we had to take responsibly. The quick goal was very good and it allowed us to immediately take the match under control. It seems to me that we outperformed them in all respects today. 

With Argentina you took a photograph with Messi and then went on to score a hat-trick. With whom do you need to take a picture next to score three against CSKA?

Messi is the best football player in the world, everyone dreams of taking a picture with him and it was a great present for me. To score another hat-trick I probably need to take a picture with him again. This is the most reliable option. 

Is this your first hat-trick at this level? 

Yes! I've scored two in games, but this was my first hat-trick. 

You must have some special feelings right now? 

Of course, this is a special moment. I improved my performance quite well and went up to the next level. I will try and work hard to score even more and to help the team. 

Next up is CSKA Moscow. Who is stronger CSKA or Rosenborg? 

I don't know. To be honest I have not seen CSKA play. We will analyse them and prepare for this game. We will approach the match responsibly and give it our all.
